MEMORIES

Submitted by Carol Yoho

Carol (Martin) Yoho lived at 2534 S.W. Randolph with her parents, Cleve and Hazel, in 1966. While Yoho, then 16, was downtown for a choir practice on June 8, her parents took shelter in the home’s crawlspace as the tornado ground over the neighborhood, significantly damaging their home. Cleve Martin rebuilt the home and rented it out – including at one point in the mid-1970s to Carol and her first husband – but later sold it. Yoho said her father included a storm shelter in the new home they built, but she never could bring herself to go down into it. “I would have had to see the funnel coming at me,” she said.
